These days anything can spin off a controversy and who would have thought that mere posters of movies could do the same! Here's a look at the much talked-about movie posters...

A comic take on the poster of 'Loot', which spoofs the corruption in the country is spreading online like fire. Starring Govinda, Suniel Shetty, Mahakshay Chakravarthy, Javed Jaffrey, Ravi Kishen and Mahesh Manjrekar, 'Loot' is scheduled to release immediately after the Diwali week.

What Kareena did in 'Kurbaan' was done by Neha Dhupia in 'Julie' way back in 2004. The actress had to face the wrath of Hindu activists because of her bold scenes on the poster. Neha also had her bare back on the film's poster.

Recently Karan Johar's film 'Kurbaan' was mired in controversy with Shiv Sena objecting to the movie's poster that flaunts actress Kareena Kapoor's bare back. Shiv Sainiks tore down posters and they then headed towards the actress' house to offer her a sari to cover herself.

'Girlfriend' had genuinely a different love triangle, the lesbianism angle, but that didn't go down well with RSS that led to protests. The protestors were so irate that they tore down almost all the posters and the banners.

In Hollywood homosexuality or bi-sexuality may not be a big deal, but in Bollywood it is. The same happened with Deepa Mehta's film 'Fire' that focused on a lesbian relationship. Every theater which had these posters were vandalised by the Right-wing activists.
